Nobody has mentioned the Yellowstone Park caldera - if that erupts, we're talking Extinction Level Event!
 
I have a map of London with the Tunguska meteor devastation trail superimposed on it (I think I posted a link 
to it here before but as it's relevant:  http://www.hibernaculum.org.uk/PicPics/Tunguska.jpg  ) - it covers 
pretty much all of Greater London and if it happened here, now, the death toll would be over 10 million 
instantly.
